Hi there. And thanks.
Having trouble updating theme via Appearance>Themes> Add theme.
I have downloaded zip file and when I try to upload I get the below warning :
I have previously read about your advice to upload via FTP via my host control panel but that is not my strong suit.

Why wont theme auto update to new version please.

Kind Regards

HI ann,
Thanks for your suggestion. We will think about it.

Thank you!

I have the exact same problem. Please advise, as I have no idea what your instructions regarding using FTP actually mean. I get the exact same message as Ann when I try to update the theme the only way I can figure out to do with my no-knowledge regarding using FTP. WP won’t let the newer version of the theme be installed. Instead it says

Unpacking the package…

Installing the theme…

Destination folder already exists. /home/desig146/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/attitude-pro/

Theme install failed.

Your response to Ann doesn’t tell us how to install the theme update. Please offer instructions that are comprehensible to a tech moron like myself who knows nothing about using FTP. Thanks!

Hi Samuel,
first of all download the zip theme(interface-pro) and then first unzip the file and rename it(interface-pro-v-1.0.1) rename it. After renaming it zip the file
Then go to dashboard-> appearance-> themes-> add new
and upload that zip theme. The same two theme will be shown there and preview the theme. You can find the new one with its latest version after clicking on Theme details.(You can identify it from the latest version)
Then active the latest version.
Delete the old version of the theme.

The next way is from ftp
go to ftp of your site
inside wp-content->themes
upload the new version of the theme and before doing that first rename the older version of theme.

After completion upload of the new version theme you may delete the old version of theme.
Thank you
